About Eli C. van der Pol

If you took one of my classes you might have found out that I am quite a character :) I love to have a laugh anytime I get the chance! I believe yoga is about having fun while having an experience; mentally and physically.

Since I was a kid I was always active so that was not a surprise that I started being a movement enthusiast quite quickly. Because of my dad's severe scoliosis, I was directed to attend postural training at a very young age. I found my first love for movement in the swimming pool where I was in pre-agonistic training and competitions. After I started the same trajectory as a teenager for athletics, competing in middle distance races. I was part of a volleyball team and later I joined martial arts. Even though I injured my knees, ankle and feet as a consequence of two bad accidents, the love for the movement never left me.

Then I discovered Yoga. Yoga helped me to recover from my injuries and at the same time helped me to reconnect with my body. As soon as I stepped on the mat something happened inside of me. Yoga helped me (again) incredibly during my recovery from a debilitating burn-out. 

Yoga brought me so much happiness, grounding and beautiful connection that I decided to become a teacher to be able to share my passion and my experience with others. I embarked on a journey seeking the best teachings, so I could transmit this art of yoga to my students in the most comprehensive and modern way possible.This quest led me to Thailand, London, Paris, Spain, Belgium and Germany where she was able to practise and learn with teachers such as Dylan Werner, Shakti Bird, Daniel Rama, Hiro Landazuri, Brad Terrell, Patrick Beach, Adell Bridges, Janet Stone and many others.

I specialise both in the energetic and milder forms of movement in order to bring balance into our productivity driven, stressed and self disconnected lifestyles. I love to create the space and time needed for people to challenge their comfort zone, explore their boundaries and connect to their inner playful child. I do it in a warm, smiling and fun way which suits my grounded approach to life and enthusiastic personality. My passions and practice include Rocket, Vinyasa, Yin, Locomotion, Mobility, Functional Movement and everything having to do with Breathwork. I love to bring in my classes always a piece of my life and heart, positive energy, while enabling self confidence and creating a safe place for expression.

Always interested in helping people to be healthy and support their lifestyle, I am a certified Nutrition and Health Coach from the IINH Irish Institute of Nutrition and Health. In addition, I hold a certication from the New York University Tandon School of Engineering in the subject of Yoga and Physiology.

I am fascinated by the “Yoga power” and how it enables you to be more in contact with our inner world that’s why I love to share this passion with you!

See you soon in class!!!
